Hi,

I downloaded Traffic Travis to test it out and play a little bit with it. But I noticed that the SEO part of Traffic Travis show if competing sites are listed at DMOZ.

I have never heard about DMOZ before, but does it help on the rankings if the site is listed at DMOZ?

Thanks,

Jimmy

Saves a lot of time and money to do it that way (with an expired domain).

  $5 for an expired domain plus domain renewal costs (about $10) instead of $299 a year forever with Yahoo?

I think DMOZ will helps your site in good position on google.com search ranking.
However, only certain websites accepted on DMOZ.
